Appendix 4. A Comparison of Internet Use and
Health Status of Populations That Experience Health Disparities
(Part 8)

7. Tobacco Use

7.1 Race and Ethnicity

American Indians/Alaska Natives have higher rates of cigarette
smoking compared to other racial and ethnic groups (Figure
38) and also have low rates of Internet use, second to
Blacks/African Americans (Figure 37).

7.2 Gender

Large differences do not appear to exist between males and
females in cigarette smoking (Figure 40).
Similarly, differences in Internet use do not appear to differ
largely between males and females (Figure
39).

7.4 Family Income Level

Low-income populations have higher rates of cigarette smoking
compared to middle- or high-income populations, yet Internet
use is considerably lower for those with lower incomes when
compared to those with higher incomes (Figures
43 and 44).
